[plt-scheme] Lost my command-I in OSX 10.5 Leopard

From: Phil Rand (philrand at gmail.com)

Problem solved.

I had checked (turned on) the option:

    DrScheme Preferences -> Editing -> General ->  Treat command key as meta.

Unchecking it makes command-I do a reindent all, and makes command-w
close the current tab, which was also not working (probably others,
too).

Thanks for the help, Geoff and Benjamin.
